Of course none of this works for professionals who work outside of the corporate world – where we are needed to provide services to the community. What happens to the 4 hour work week and work globally then?

Why not the value of the work they do?

Nichole,

Thank you so much for your insights! As a quasi-melinnial-something I have to agree that the way we work and innovate together needs to shift. I think a key component here is for companies to rethink not only set times but also set places for employees to work in. A cubicle is stifling, a loft space too noisy, a cool downtown office too out-of-the-way. Why not set up facilities around a city for employees to utilize and allow more opportunities to use social media tools as coworking tools? Technology allows endless possibilities for connection, so why not use those connections in the workplace?

More and a lot of ways that to induce “punished”,
not smart for competition.

If we start having these global employees, how do you think their salaries will be determined based on the office location or on his remote location?

Rachel – Thanks for commenting. I don’t think the model is based on hiring part-time consultants at all. I think that’s where the model has flourished because with part-time consultants there isn’t an expectation that you “control” their time. They are there to get a project done and they get it done. End of story. For some reason when someone is an employee and gets benefits employers suddenly think they have bought the ability to control their every move, or some would interpret it that way at least. I think we can separate the employment status from the requirement that you come to the office every day. And yes, SME provides benefits the same benefits to remote workers as we would any full-time employee that would traditionally come to an office.
